I have clockworkmod recovery installed and rooted. It's been a few months since I rooted, and can't remember exactly what I did, but OTA updates stopped working. Hence, I am still on gingerbread.
Trying to flash a custom rom now, CM9. I tried the rom manager method several times, found out that wasn't recommended, and then tried the recovery method.
The same thing happens either way: it boots into CM9, but the boot animation keeps playing.
With the rom manager method, I tried wiping nothing, then tried wiping dalvik only, then tried... whatever the other option was, wipe cache and data?
With CMW recovery I downloaded CM9 zip and the appropriate GAPPS, moved onto the internal SD card, booted into recovery mode Wipe data/factory reset, then Wipe cache partition, then install both.
I'm able to restore from backup each time, but this is annoying.
Thank you
1. Install ICS Radio (UCLF6)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Format /System
4. Install CM9.zip
5. Install Gapps.zip
6. Wipe Cache/Dalvik
7. Reboot
:good:

So "UCLF6" appears to be rom that is similar to stock, I'm guessing the idea here is that I'm resetting the phone but retaining root, the idea being that something on my phone is messed up and preventing CM9 from booting but doesn't prevent the current rom from booting?
Two other questions
1. Won't format/system wipe out all my backups in addition to my data?
2. Have you had or seen this problem before? I'm hesitant to commit myself to something, especially with no backups, if it's just a theoretical fix. I do appreciate it either way.
UCLF6 is an ICS modem/radio you need if you're coming from gb.
If you back up though CWM you can restore again later if you want.
Formatting /system will delete the operating system.
Formatting /data will delete your apps/settings/wallpaper etc...

I had a similar boot animation loop when I went from stock GB to stock ICS. What seemed to fix it was updating my CWM from 5.0.2.6 (non-touch) to 5.5.0.4 (touch). (BTW, I couldn't find an advantage of stock ICS over stock GB. I have since put on CM9 which I'm liking).

Still got the boot loop.
When I did the "Wipe data/factory reset" I did get an error message during one of the processes"
"Error mounting sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format"
I had a boot loop problem when I first tried to flash JB. I went from GB to ICS with a custom rom a few months back, but I couldn't get any of the new JB roms to work. I ended up having to upgrade my CWM to the touch version in order to get JB flash to work. Also, a tip-- the boot animation will take a minute or two even when it is working. Don't assume it is still a problem if you see it more than once.
Hi
I have build 10.1-20130712-UNOFFICIAL-saga installed and working but with the SMS Not Send issue and the google maps flickering one of which is fixed in cm-10.1-20130808-UNOFFICIAL-saga, maybe both (?).
If I already have 10.1 installed what is the update path, do I need to clear any caches or can I just install the latest rom via fastboot?
Do i need to installed the boot.img again?
Thanks, still leaning!! :silly:
Wipe cache and Dalvik cache, flash the rom in recovery, flash the boot.img in fastboot, reboot.

Thank you for the info -
I cleared above caches, installed the rom in recovery and finally booted back to fast boot to flash boot.img as described above.
rebooted phone, call settings, messages, apps data etc... still in tact so cool beans!:laugh:
Many Thanks for the above.
Hi,
First, I followed the instructions in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
I installed the CWM recovery and then flashed the CM11-20131228 nightly and then the recommended Google Apps that are linked at their wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads (I took the 20131208 ones)
Now my phone is stuck in the boot screen with the circle spinning around the cyanogenmod logo (I can boot the bootloader and recovery but when I try to boot CM11 it’s stuck) and I dont know how to get to a working cm11 rom. The guide said that the first boot with a new rom takes longer than usual because the phone rebuilds caches and so on but I think it should not take more than half an hour...
What I already tried is:
- Wiping the chaches with the CWM recovery an then booting cm11 -> still just the arrow spinning around the logo
- Wiping the caches with recovery and then re-flashing the same zip without flashing the google apps afterwards -> did not work
- Wiping and then pushing the newer cm11 nightly via adb so that I could try this one -> recovery did not find the pushed zip on my scdard
- Wiping, then tried to install the new nightly via adb sideload -> cmd prompt said it was send properly and as far as I can say the phone installed it but I was still stuck on that bootscreen ...
- I even restored to the stock 4.4.2 factory image and then flashed the cwm recovery, than wiped caches and then installed the latest cm11 nightly an then the google apps but I still can not get past the boot animation
What am I doing wrong and how can I get past the boot screen?
You talk about wiping caches but are you wiping data too?
Oh, yes. I just didnt mention it. I always did the three steps from the guide:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache

So you get the bootloop only when trying to install CM and when you flashed the factory image, it booted up fine?

Exactly.
I install the factory image with method 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 and then flash CWM recovery to install CM (factory reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + install cm-zip + install gapps-zip) and then there is the bootloop.

Sometimes formatting all of the partitions (except the sd card) works.

I got another problem now ... The last thing I did was flashing the stock rom. Now I want to flash the latest CM nightly (20131229) but fastboot does not let me install cwm recovery and says
Code:
FAILED <remote: partition table doesn't exist>
I flashed the whole stock rom again but the error still occurs... I have to wipe the partitions after I installed CM, right?

Are you using
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the cwm image file

I use this command. But I missed a c in recovery so fastboot did not find the partition named "reovery" >_< Ok, CWM is installed. Now I have to install CM11 an then wipe the 4 partitions you mentioned with cwm? Wheres the option to wipe system, I just find the other 3.

So I installed CM + Gapps and then wiped data, cache and dalvik cache with CWM. Now Im waiting for 8 minutes for the bootscreen to go away, but think it didnt work. By the way, if I wipe the system partition, I delete CM, dont I? I dont understand how that will help booting into CM.

Wipe before the install.
So,
1 Put rom zip on phone internal storage
2 Wipe partitions except internal storage
3 Flash rom
4 Flash GApps
5 Reboot

8 minutes is too long. You have some other problem. Do any other roms work? Wiping system in twrp does not wipe the internal sd card. That's why you didn't find it in cwm.

I will try the AOKP nightly and post the results. Is it okay to just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before installing the aokp zip or is it better to flash the stock rom before flashing aokp?
No need to flash stock, just do the wipes
So uhh, I unlocked the bootloader.
Flashed CWM Recovery.
and now I was on the point to install a rom..
factory wipe + cache wipe
format system
flash rom (tried cwm and Beanstalk)
flash gapps ("Gapps_Standard" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2012857) (also tried those by developers)
wipe dalvik
reboot > bootloop.
Also tried to wipe everything again.
well, no luck
keep getting bootloop.
help please?
P.S.
I know how to flash a rom...
P.P.S
Moto G 4.4.2 Repack (stock) works.
But no wifi...

For no-wifi problem try to flash the rom from page 9 in repack thread. Work for me.
Hi, this is the first android device I have played with so naturally I managed to mess it up.
The problem is with an Iconia A510, wrong forum but didnt find a Q&A for A510 so I tried here instead.
I rooted and installed CWM recovery. The custom firmware I have tried or stopped during boot and rebooted the device. Booted for 10-20 seconds, I see the animated logos before it reboots.
I upgrade with:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
advanced -> format /system
advanced -> format /data
advanced -> format /cache
install zip from sdcard -> external sdcard
Am I doing something wrong with the upgrade? Can I upgrade CWM from inside CWM so I can try the latest Android version? Is there a firmware version that will work?
Info:
Files from: acer shreps fr
CWM version: CWM Recovery v6.0.1.9 by NoThrills for A510 tablets. Apparently can try KitKat with it, so only tried older Android.
All installed OK but stopped during boot:
7comp-JB-a510-Nightly-20130808
aokp_a510_jb-mr2_unofficial_2013-12-05
cm-10.1.3-20130925-UNOFFICIAL-a510

did you try to wipe data or/and dalvik cache after you installed the rom? (DONT WIPE SYSTEM!)
sometimes this will work for me.

Thanks for the tip. I tried wiping the usual suspects, flashing a CM rom and then flash data and dalvik cache. Same thing; started booting, the CM logo comes up and starts spinning before it freezes and reboots.
I'll play around a bit more. Tried the 'fix permissions' in CWM recovery, no go.
Solved it. Formatted everything except external_sdcard, flashed with AOKP and booted fine. Magic!
